Reproductible testcase:
1. Open MailNews
2. Select a folder
3. Tools > Search Messages...

The error(s) occurs during the dialog load !
{
Error: redeclaration of const MOZILLA_HELP
Source File: chrome://help/content/contextHelp.js
Line: 21

Error: menulist.selectedItem has no properties
Source File: chrome://messenger/content/mailWidgets.xml
Line: 1520
}
(The first error is a "new"(!) testcase for bug 162432 !)
Anyway, I don't know if one of them causes the other, but they do appear together !

Re comment 2, based on v1.7a nighlies:

Well:
*E-|MOZILLA_HELP| is bug 162432... (as already noted)
*W-|var i| was fixed in bug 228501 ! (but not in v1.6)
*E-|menulist.selectedItem| was fixed in bug 227013 ! (but not in v1.6)

OK so strictly speaking this is a dup of 227013.
